files on the network opend read only

8th March 2012, 08:58

i have a network and win 7 pro is playing the server,most of the files in the network are only could open by one user and the other users can only open them as a read only,all the files are marked as open files for everyone can someone help me solved that pleas??thenks

What sort of files are you talking about here? I was under the impression that when a file is open, it is locked for editing by the user that has opened it. Other users can open the locked file, but it is marked as read-only. Changes can be made to the file by users that open it subsequently, but the file must be saved with a different name.

Databases are a different matter - multiple users can access and change a database simultaneously.
